Meanwhile back at the school she had been noticed to be missing. One student said she was last seen walking into McGonnagall's class, but wasn't seen exiting. Students that where outside said she wasn't seen leaving outside the grounds, and didn't see anyone else enter.
McGonnagall said she was 20 minutes late for the lesson with Layla when she was tied up with another student, who also verified her location at the time. The staff combed the forest and found nothing. Dumbledore by this time was becoming worried for Layla and knew this wasn't like her to up and disappear the way she did, but the word was kept between the staff and a select few students, and to many she was known to have left for a health reasons. No one wanted the word to spread to other wizarding families fearing that students will be requested to come home.
After all the questioning was complete and the search of the transfigure classroom was finished, teachers came to the conclusion that it was a temporary trap door, but by the time that was decided it was too late to re-track the spell. The teachers hoped they would hear word from her and that she got out on her own.
Back to Layla, she was given three meals a day and other than tied up she was treated decent. The boy walked into the barn holding her lunch and Layla watched him; she found him to be cute but was still mad at him for his actions. She looked away from him, "you know, I don't even know your name but you know mine. That's not very proper"
The boy smirked placing the plate next to her on the ground, "my name is of no importance." Layla slowly faced him with a blank face, her eyes like the sea, seemed so cold yet so kind and gentle, " a name is of great importance. It is who you are. It tells people a piece of yourself before they know you." The boy nodded, "if you must know my name it is Bryan, Bryan Adams." Layla smiled, " we have a name. Well you must have just graduated wizarding school or some form of education." He turned and left the barn without a word in fast haste leaving Layla alone again. She began to talk to herself, " I hate being alone. The silence is so scary." Her voice echoes off the walls and she curls up into herself thinking on what to do in order to get her wand, "if only I could get my wand I could get out of here." She then looked to the table ten feet away and, then to the pole she was tied to. There was a small gap about twenty feet up and smiles, "it will be like climbing a broomstick." She grips the ropes tight and begins to climb. Inching her way to the top and her smile growing larger with each of those inches.
About an hour into her climb she looped the rope from the off the post and fell twenty feet and fell on her feet and rolled her left ankle in order to keep from her right knee from getting injured (basically her ankle will hurt for a little bit.). She stood to her feet and ran to her wand holding it close feeling like a piece of her was reunited. Then she held it to the air. "Alohomora!" the loft in the barn flew open and keeping her wand in the air she shouted, "Accio nimbus 2001!" she waited a few moments and a broomstick flew from the loft and hovered in front of her as she smiled mounting it. By this time Bryan and the hooded figure opened the main doors to the barn. The cloaked man pointed his fingers to her, "make sssssssure sssssssshe doessssssssn't get away!"
Layla zoomed for the opening in the loft and didn't look back to see what was happening. All she heard before she saw the sky was an explosion and the wood colliding with each other. She still didn't look back for she feared she would panic. All she looked at was the fullness of the moon and what a joy she found it to see. She dodged to the nearest forest and flew swiftly deep into the bush not caring if she was it with a few twigs. She didn't want to go back and had no intentions of doing so alive. Her mind concentrated on finding a way to get home.
She had figured that she had traveled east and was now traveling north. Her broom stick shifted west back towards hogwarts, all her mind bent on being their and she knew she was already being chased somehow but didn't want to look back. Bryan was a ways behind her but could still see her and knew where she was going. He was too far to stun her but he didn't really want to hurt her to begin with. She came over the horizon and saw the school and the lights that welcomed her home. She couldn't believe it. It must have been a week she had been gone or to her it seemed a week. But everything at school was the same.
She passed over the lake and then she looked back. Bryan was on her tail and his wand was drawn and a shot was fired although she could not hear the words she knew it was a kind of stunning spell. It hits her in the right side and she leaned over her broomstick and screamed out in pain. She stopped in the middle of the lake for a mid-second before shooting off back towards the school 'big mistake Layla' she thought her side freely bleeding as it spread all over her robes. Another shooting pain hit her back as she let out another scream for pain or help, but Layla didn't stop she was hoping someone would hear her and come to her aid. As she felt herself becoming weaker.
She saw two figures in the distance emerge from the school and smiled losing cautiousness all becoming dark and silent….
